![]() |
This is a flexible knowledge generator that is meant to aid or take the place of a Gamemaster (GM) for answering questions or finding the clues¸ information¸ or describing what a humanoid knows. A chart optimized for 1d12 but with results for 2D6¸ 1D20¸ 3D6¸ and 1d100 systems is included. It makes it a versatile description generating engine.
This system is meant to give keywords¸ that when put together help to generate a collecction or field of knowledge. The keywords are meant to help trigger thoughtful and inspirational ideas. An attempt was made to make it usable for superhero¸ high fantasy¸ or scifi powers genres. Some small changes may be needed to interpret the results in some settings.
Included are 12 categories based on a modern library system of classification: General Info¸ Philosophy & Psychology¸ Paranormal & Religion¸ History Geography & Anthropology¸ Social Science¸ Politics & Law¸ Music & Fine Arts¸ Language & Literature¸ Science¸ Medicine¸ Agriculture & Technology. Each of these have 12 results to total 144 results in the entire chart.
This system works well for adding random ideas into story writing¸ solo gaming¸ or to aid a GM in creating descriptions of characters. It may even be used in addition to an existing stat-block to re-skin it into something fresh and new.
